Did you get the cable from a seller called e-cafe?!

Version 311.2n or 409 will work, but you'd need to configure VAG-COM to look at the com port which the USB cable is emulating (you can find this by looking at Ports (Com & Lpt) in Device Manager).

You'll have limited functionallity though without a registered version of VAG-COM (i.e. you'll be able to read fault codes, modify some but not all coding and adaption codes.) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

If you have the dual K line, USB cable, then go for the Twin-COM version of VAG-COM.

thanks for your help, it is the twin com version as you say. all working now.
does anyone know if i can change weather the alarm siren comes on through vagcom?
the alarm goes off - lights flashing but no siren.
or maybe the siren is broken [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

If you've never altered any coding in the past, I'd guess the siren/horn is broken. I think the alarm system has a seperate unit from the main "Oi!" horn... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i have never altered the codes but have only owned the car for a few weeks so dont know if they have been altered in the past. dont know why anyone would want to turn the siren off though. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
